Program Description

The nation’s largest alternate-site GPO is hosting the 7th Annual Business Summit for long-term care pharmacies and other healthcare industry partners Thursday, March 4 and Friday, March 5, 2010 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Last year’s 2009 Business Summit was the largest ever, attracting over 400 pharmacy owners and operators, almost 100 industry partner companies, and over 200 executives from these industry partners! MHA is anticipating an even bigger meeting in 2010!

The 2010 MHA Business Summit will highlight long-term care pharmacy issues, with a focus on healthcare reform. The potential groundbreaking legislation currently being proposed by the federal government and how this may affect long-term care pharmacy will be discussed in great detail. There will again be presentations on the challenges and methods to maximize reimbursement to long-term care pharmacies and how to stay compliant with current and potential state regulations. This year’s Business Summit will have two keynote speakers on March 4—one in the morning, the other to end the day.

As always, industry partners will be encouraged to attend all the sessions throughout the Business Summit, which allows for maximum interaction with key customers!
